No not a rant

£132 got me this last week, not my painting BTW.





Just needs a drive belt, engine an original AVA petter runs sweetly, I could weigh it in for more

Where else would you find this stuff 15 years ago, we knock it but......

That looks brilliant!

Must admit I've not had a good eBay bargain lately, must be something I 'need'.......

Nice
For some reason I find myself wanting a 50s massey tractor to restore...

Is an aya petter an early lister petty friends dad had a single cylinder hooked up to a generator most distinct sound ever.

Good find btw my mate restores tractors and finding that cheep hedge finds are hard to come by these days.

that's great. What where you searching for found that?

Slammed with a big zorst

I have been watching them for a while now, we want to landscape the garden so have a lot of dirt and clay to shift, they usually go for £500 + so put a bid in for £250 and forgot about it.

Just need some dumper tyres and a can of red paint, needs a bit of tin work.

Surprisingly easy to start, you just wind it over and flick the decompressor, it then chugs away in clouds of black smoke for a minute or so which evens out, perfect for carry on films.

Another Dutton on ebay

Might need a little trim for the IVA though!

My neighbour is a Petter expert and I often help him move engines around the workshop and outside to test. He also sells spare parts for Petter engines so if you ever need anything there is good chance the parts will be available.

You couldn't not buy it for that price.

(That's the line I use on my wife)

Well done!
